About us

At Fenergo, we’re not just building software - we’re transforming how the world’s leading financial institutions fight financial crime. Headquartered in Dublin and trusted by over 100 of the world’s top financial institutions, we’re on a mission to change the game.

We’re more than a global leader in AI-powered client lifecycle management - we’re reimagining how financial institutions tackle compliance. From Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) to rapidly evolving regulations, we turn complexity into clarity. Our FinCrime Operating System, powered by agentic AI and intelligent automation, helps financial institutions move faster, act smarter, and stay safer across 120+ countries.

But we don’t stop there.

At Fenergo, we believe in a world where financial institutions aren’t just compliant - they’re confident. Where technology doesn’t just meet regulations - it stays ahead of them. Our mission is to empower financial institutions to stop financial crime and create a safer world.

Every product we build, every innovation we deliver, and every partnership we forge is shaped by that belief. We’re tackling some of the toughest challenges in financial technology. From speeding up onboarding to uncovering hidden risks, our work empowers banks to serve their customers with speed, integrity, and peace of mind.

Join us and be part of a team that’s building smart solutions, solving real problems, and shaping the future - together.

Role Summery

As Senior Product Owner of Fenergo’s Transaction Monitoring (TM) solution, you will own the tactical execution of features in an enterprise-grade AML/ CLM platform. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams (engineering, customers, product managers and client solutions) to deliver mission-critical capabilities: detection engines, AI models, AI agents, tuning & calibration, alert and case management UX, audit and reporting. You will translate regulatory requirements, typologies, and client needs into backlog items, drive sprint delivery, and ensure the product evolves to stay ahead of evolving threats using ground- breaking technology.

Manage dependencies with external systems (watchlists, screening, sanctions feeds, data enrichment, client data ingestion).

Create or update product documentation, user guides, runbooks, and support internal teams (sales, services, support).

Stay current on AML regulations, typologies and trends across the financial crime sector.
